The Crisis in Christian Witness The church in our time is facing a serious crisis—not merely of numbers, influence, or reputation, but of holiness, truth, and character. Many still speak the name of Jesus, yet their lives often deny the spirit of His teaching. Scripture warns against this very thing: “These people honor me with their lips, but their heart…
The church does not need a polished idea of God while remaining empty of His presence. We do not need more religious language without holy fire, more activity without intimacy, or more form without life. We need to know Him.
